• Fall 2022 – All Design and Construction projects will be REQUIRED to have the Skill Mastery Sheet securely attached to the project . Use a safety pin and attach directly to the exhibit when at all possible . The sheet MUST be completed by the 4-H member .
• The skill mastery sheet ( https :// 4h . okstate . edu / projects / design-and-construction / curriculum-andpatterns . html is an education tool to guide project work . Click Sample Technique Cards to find instruction for many of the techniques noted in the skill sheets ( i . e . facings , zippers , hems , fasteners , etc .).
• Instruction Sheets for the projects listed can be found at : https :// 4h . okstate . edu / projects / design-andconstruction / project-guide-sheets . html
• Fair exhibits have been carefully selected and directed for members to investigate and learn specific skills / information and to demonstrate mastery of these skills / information .
• The end-product / exhibit is being evaluated on the skills “ learned / mastered .” The skill sheet serves as the member ’ s “ personal reflection ” and communicates to the judge what was learned . Why is this important ? Because in 4-H , the reflection and application of what was learned is more important than the end product / exhibit .
• The skill sheet is to be used as a planning tool . It is important that each 4-H member take responsibility for the life skill of “ learning to learn .” This may require members , leaders and educators to look up terms and learn techniques as
50 part of the educational process .
• Resources , instructions and project guides are posted online . Members are encouraged to seek out other valid resources which teach proper technique and knowledge in the areas of design and construction .
• General Skills to be mastered in project / product in ADC , IDC and HTDC : ♣ Structural Design : Construction technique , size , form , color and texture suited to the materials and product end use . ♣ Elements of Design : The finished product illustrates the member is learning or “ mastering ” the basic elements of design - line , shape or form , texture , color , and space . ♣ Principles of Design : The finished product illustrates an awareness and application of the principles of harmony , proportion , balance , rhythm and emphasis adding dimension , interest and / or appeal to the finished product . ♣ Surface Design : This is any lines , shapes , colors , textures , or materials applied to the product or item ’ s design that creates an emotional or personal quality , individuality and creative expression without disturbing initial / end purpose / how it is used . Design is that “ something ” which makes the item unique to the individual designer .
